I have all of my heat/lights on timers. If I put a lot of circkets in their feeding dishes before I leave and give them a nice long soak, do you think they will be fine? I know they will get a little hungry, but I think they should do alright. They are mostly adults but I do have a few babies.

Wow, that's a long time to be gone. Is there anyone that can come over a couple times while you're gone and take care of them? I can see a couple days at a time being okay but not really that long. Anyone else have some advice?

The adults would probably be fine but I don't think the babies should be left for that long. I would try and get someone to come over at least a couple times in that period to check up on them and feed them.

The adults could probably handle it, but baby beardies can't. If the crickets can get out of the feeding dish, too many will end up eating your beardie.
You must know someone that will feed them for you...

No... I wouldn't leave any dragon (adult or baby) alone that long... Never...
If I go away for only 2 nights I ask someone to come and feed them fresh veggies and to check that everything is ok.

Would you like to go without food for 10 days? Probably not. You might be able to survive but won't be healthy, same thing with your dragon. I say no way. Try and find someone to look out for them. I think if there were absolutely no way around it they would be better off with the lights out the whole time so that their metabolism would slow down, but I would do anything to avoid that situation.
